Grounded in the Word.
Ready for the times.

Start with the Word

Jesus answered temptation with Scripture: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4). The blessed man of Psalm 1 is the one whose “delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” The Bereans “searched the scriptures daily” (Acts 17:11). God’s Word is meant to be daily bread, not an occasional visit.

A daily Bible reading plan turns that conviction into a habit. Instead of opening the Bible at random or waiting for a free moment that never comes, a plan sets out a portion of Scripture for each day of the year. Most plans mix Old and New Testament passages so that a reader moves steadily through the whole counsel of God, including the books that are easy to skip. A plan gives you a clear starting point every morning, a way to see how far you have come and an easy way to get back on track after a missed day. It also lets a husband and wife, a whole family or a small group read the same passages and talk about them together.

We encourage you to use the Daily Bible Reading plan from Conservative Christians of Tennessee. It shows each day’s passages on one page and takes you through the Bible in 365 days. It tracks your reading progress through the year, lets you click back to earlier dates to catch up and can send a daily email reminder with a link straight to that day’s reading. Pick a time, open the plan and read today’s passages. Then do it again tomorrow.

Understanding the times

The men of Issachar “had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do” (1 Chronicles 12:32). Christians today need the same discernment: grounded first in Scripture, then informed about what is happening in our communities and our nation. Conservative Christians of Tennessee (CCOT) offers Christian commentary, news and analysis on faith, family and public life, along with the Faith In Action podcast. Faith In Action, with Shawn Graham and Matthew Nowlin, airs on BOTT Radio Network, which carries Christian programming and Bible teaching across the region. For deeper reading, American Reformer publishes essays advancing a positive vision for America grounded in the American Christian tradition. Together these sources help believers think biblically about the issues of the day instead of letting the culture set the terms.

Pastors and men leading the way

Strong homes are built when the pulpit and the household teach the same thing. Scripture gives fathers the charge to teach God’s Word diligently to their children (Deuteronomy 6:6–7), and it calls pastors to preach the whole counsel of God (Acts 20:27). When biblical teaching on marriage, fatherhood, motherhood, children and the dignity of life is taught plainly from the pulpit, families hear it, learn it and live it out at home. When the pulpit is silent, the culture fills the gap.

That is why we want pastors and men to lead the way. Christ Over All exists to apply all of Scripture to all of life, and its articles and resources help pastors and church leaders teach with confidence on the family, manhood and womanhood and the Christian life. The Micah Mandate calls men to justice, mercy and humility from Micah 6:8 and invites pastors to bring their men into discipleship that strengthens families, churches and communities. F3 Nation offers free, peer-led workouts that build fellowship and leadership among men who want to be strong fathers, husbands and leaders. For fathers raising sons, Trail Life USA is a church-based, Christ-centered program for boys, with troops in all 50 states, that builds adventure, character and leadership alongside the men who lead them.

Pastors, preach traditional family values with clarity and conviction. Men, take up your role at home and lead your families in God’s Word. When both happen together, faith is not only heard on Sunday. It is lived out every day of the week.
